We arc authorized to announce t. w. :;k;gkkstaff. present principal of the St. Clair Public School, as ;i candidate for the office of County Selit.ol Commissioner of Franklin County. Missouri. Election Tuo? day, April 7th. ISM. During the years 161 and 1862 the government levied a direct tax upon the states, according to population for the purpose of aiding in suppressing the rebellion. About $17,000,1,00 was paid the government, while about 82,500,000 was never paid. As some states did not pay at all and some paid there full share this state of things was deemed unfair and congress lias now passed a bill to pay back to the va-irous states the respective amounts paid by them and cancel the debts Owd by the other states, and thus square things up. Missouri will vecieve from the government $646,95 by the operations of t he present bill. We are glad that our young friend, Frank Evins, of Stanton, has accented the offer of our col umns for an article in favor of .. . , free silver coinage. By a careful 3 J perusal -of Mr. Evins' pioduction it is learned that he thinks farmers are to benefitted by free coinage oy making the circulating medium j greater mid thereby increase the I price of all a fanner has to sell. So far Mr. Evins easons w.ll. Why don't he go a step farther and say mat the prico ot everything a farm- j er has to buy will be increased in ; the sum!? proportion. The logical ' and only conclusion reached bv i Mr. Evins is this, and the one we j have always contended is this : A j dollar will not buy as much with an expanded currency as it will now. A poor youiiir man wil have to raise that much more money in j order to buv a nieee of I-m.,1 Trr.ni r , a speculator, so that he can start farming, ine larmer will have to pay that much more for bis b lp. We could puiot out hundreds of ways in which m farmer and labor - r would have to pay higher pric - es. Mr. Evins closes with this : 'And not now, Mr. id l tor. as vou have. opened the ball it is your turn to dance. Please do o by telling in what manner and who in Franklin county wiil be injured by the tree coinage of si Ivor ?" To bo specific we arc persona' ly acquainted with an orphan girl who was left $SU0 by her father which her guardian lias put out at six per cent in-tercM. yielding the girl a profit ot $1X per annum. Should you have an expniision of the currency do you not .see .Mr. Evins that that girt cannot buy as much with thtst $1S then as she can now. She wouiti have to take much more of it t buy her a calico dress, much more ot it to buy a pair of shoes. ; She ill not h hle to hnv ,n mnnl, ; With iJio $300 principal as she can ! now In short you wir t this girl j to !.-. moi. tin i.j Ove , poo cre i Curi all Chet.;, this j. to , as v . Ano-vit; &re ,.i and der.: . e a cheaper money for her j than that she lent. The same i true of the merchants all j us country who trusted the i mner when be neeJed tbe j .... .,i , . . . ,.j -orely. Should your idea of J i y pievml you would make I creditors take pay in a ; i currency. The "dif r of j.er has debts but he wants .:! a dollar worth as much lie miliar be borrowed, we beiieve it is the case majority of farmers who debt, tor they are honest believe will some day un-,id the subject better. 1 s Clat i lered most severely from rheu- during winter Aftor usiiiff Sal Tatio.; oil two days the paiu entirely auUixttl, and now 1 am a well man. The Need of the Western Farmer. A i tbe of the State entitled, "The Needs of the Western Farmer." extract the fol- lowing from the paper and advise I its careful reading by every farmer: "We believe it would he to the interest tf Ui farmer to have a jcreatei va riety of stock. We ought to raise mutton and woo! as Well as beef and pork. H'c think Kansas ought to be a wool Krowing State. We import more wool of ill grade rat the United States than we raise. Our import of wool are w-rlh as much as our exports of wheat. Why not rainu more wool and less wheat? Why ship our surplus wheat to Liverpool and bring back wool from Russia, South America and Aua tralia ? And why not do something toward raising our own sugar ? France supplies her own people with suicar, and a large amount for export made from he beet. Experiments made in our own State and Nebraska indicate that the growing of beets for the mat inr of sugar will prove a success. Encouragement should be given to every entcrpiise of this kind. Whatever gives a greater variety to farm crops or that develops a new industry should be of interest to the farmer. With the present facilities for transportation, the American farmer has mt monopoly of the markets of Europe for his product. Thirty years ago the idea of shipping wheat from Tndia to England was never dreamed of. The opening of the Suez Canal shortened the distance between the two countries lit.tHKI miles, and to-dav wheat is regularly shipped from Bombay and Calcutta to Livrpool. I am no pr phet I nor the son of a prophet, vet I believe tl .!,-. P .... wnenevcr tne western larmir gets $1 a bushel for his wheat it will be for home consumption. The present indications are tli:it the shipper cannot pay that price for wheat to put upon the Livei-pool market. T5te London '"Miller ' predicts that "with better railroad facilities and better implements in India, ! American flour will be driven from the English market." So. while it is true that exports of heef have increased of late ye.an (we send them the best beef of any country in the worid), .it the price has been reduced by reason of im- of frozen mutton from Australia and beet from touth Amenea. lhe U - ...r i c i -i ew l ork tribune ot January lh, Am,; j.m-d bef "at ) ceuts; the best steers it 11 to 12i cents dressed weight (e.(ual to about cents per pound on foot), in the London mai- ket' b,lt A few J'car "J?" thi i i,,e in the Ka,,,M ' they brought markets. Such ; is the competition the American far-jmer has to contend with to-day. It seems to me theie is but one hope for Us that is, to diversify our industries, so as to increase our home consumption until eventually all American products wil1 be consumed by American wo-h- i men unon American soil.

It is proposed by some to dismember this district. We don't care if they j do. It em't be made more surely ; democratic. j Stanton, io.. March 2nd, '90. Editor Tribi ne-Rkpubucan : Having waited in vain for some older person to accept your offer of a column in which to show the benefit of free coinage of silver, I will attempt to write briefly on that subject in order to open it for discussion. I believe that the free coiiage of silver will benefit tbe farmers of Franklin county by increasing tbe circulating medium and thereby enhancing the price of farm products. This will be most clearly seen in an example of long division, thus: products circulating me dium price.. By a little study of division 3 0U will observe that if4 the circulating medium increases faster than the products ot labor the price of said products will also increase, but if the circulating medium does not keep pace with the increase of products or decreases as it actually has for the last 24 years, the price of produets will decrease n proportion. In order to understand this better take all the numbers from tvto to twelve and divide each by six, noting carefully the effect op .he quotient. Will the free coinage of silver produce this expansion of the circulating medium ? Certainly, it will, to a limited extent, (an! every little hcljts).By turning the entire output of our gold and silver mines instead of a part into a circulating medium or a basis therefor. If a little foreign silver should come in it will simply help to bring about the desired result, because the foreigner will hae to spend it here for if he should take it away be will have to use it as bullion, and will be the loser for the seigniorage on coining is about sufficient to pay the running expense of the mint. The fact that the intrinsic value of tbe present silver dollar is not equal to gold cuts no figure in the case, for silver Was at a premium when it was demonetized in 1873. Yon nust bear in mind, Mr. Editor, that the intrinsic value of gold and silver is simply a com modity, and the bullion price is regulated by supply and demand It silver is brought to free coinage ' 41 1-2 grains of silver will be worth 248 grains tbe world over, less tbe cost of transportation to the. United Stiitea Thpn F.n.rhmri will no longer be able to buy our ' i,.. i i- . "I i uiiL-iiji oinui msienuui woeai aim cnu mi siwue uver te inuia ior wheat. Again, Mr. Editor, you believe in protecting American industries and so do I. Now why not apply the same principle to silver mining as that is pre eminently an American indust v. the United . ... ,1... a. i: e States producing more than half of j the silver of the world ? Is it any i more vLious class legislation to fa-1 vor the silver barons of the V'est than to favor the iron barons of Pennsylvania ? And now, Mr. Editor, a) you have opened the ball it is your turn to dance. Please do so by telling in what manner and who in Franklin county will be injured by the free coinage of silver ? Next week I will give you among other things, a true snake story, and if you stand that pretty well I may offer a few ideas on taxation. F. W. Etins. A bill is now pending before the thirty-sixth general assembly of this state which has for its object the publishing ni the laws in two papers in each eoun.y, one of each political party comprising the 1 rgest number ot voters. In New Jerse New Voik and a number of other states tbe session act are thus published. The question of ex Dense is being urged by a few of the representatives and sena tors, but the actual cost by a careful, and disinterested computation has been ascertained to be not over $000 to each county, and hence counting tbe one hundred and fourteen com. tics of Missouri, the entire cost to the state would be 08,400, not inclusive of St. Louis, every two years. " The best way to govern the masses is to educate them; to publish the laws! i is an essential part of this edu j cation. Nine-tenths of the people j do not know what the laws of j t.ie state are because they cannot j afford ti buy a set ot tbe stat-1 utes. lhe question is simply this: Do the people wish the state to pay S600 to have the laws all printed in each county.

Election Tuo? day, April 7th. ISM. During the years 161 and 1862 the government levied a direct tax upon the states, according to population for the purpose of aiding in suppressing the rebellion. About $17,000,1,00 was paid the government, while about 82,500,000 was never paid. As some states did not pay at all and some paid there full share this state of things was deemed unfair and congress lias now passed a bill to pay back to the va-irous states the respective amounts paid by them and cancel the debts Owd by the other states, and thus square things up. Missouri will vecieve from the government $646,95 by the operations of t he present bill. We are glad that our young friend, Frank Evins, of Stanton, has accented the offer of our col umns for an article in favor of .. . , free silver coinage. By a careful 3 J perusal -of Mr. Evins' pioduction it is learned that he thinks farmers are to benefitted by free coinage oy making the circulating medium j greater mid thereby increase the I price of all a fanner has to sell. So far Mr. Evins easons w.ll. Why don't he go a step farther and say mat the prico ot everything a farm- j er has to buy will be increased in ; the sum!? proportion. The logical ' and only conclusion reached bv i Mr. Evins is this, and the one we j have always contended is this : A j dollar will not buy as much with an expanded currency as it will now. A poor youiiir man wil have to raise that much more money in j order to buv a nieee of I-m.,1 Trr.ni r , a speculator, so that he can start farming, ine larmer will have to pay that much more for bis b lp. We could puiot out hundreds of ways in which m farmer and labor - r would have to pay higher pric - es. Mr. Evins closes with this : 'And not now, Mr. id l tor. as vou have. opened the ball it is your turn to dance. Please do o by telling in what manner and who in Franklin county wiil be injured by the tree coinage of si Ivor ?" To bo specific we arc persona' ly acquainted with an orphan girl who was left $SU0 by her father which her guardian lias put out at six per cent in-tercM. yielding the girl a profit ot $1X per annum. Should you have an expniision of the currency do you not .see .Mr. Evins that that girt cannot buy as much with thtst $1S then as she can now. She wouiti have to take much more of it t buy her a calico dress, much more ot it to buy a pair of shoes. ; She ill not h hle to hnv ,n mnnl, ; With iJio $300 principal as she can ! now In short you wir t this girl j to !.-. moi. tin i.j Ove , poo cre i Curi all Chet.;, this j. to , as v . Ano-vit; &re ,.i and der.: . e a cheaper money for her j than that she lent. The same i true of the merchants all j us country who trusted the i mner when be neeJed tbe j .... .,i , . . . ,.j -orely. Should your idea of J i y pievml you would make I creditors take pay in a ; i currency. The "dif r of j.er has debts but he wants .:! a dollar worth as much lie miliar be borrowed, we beiieve it is the case majority of farmers who debt, tor they are honest believe will some day un-,id the subject better. 1 s Clat i lered most severely from rheu- during winter Aftor usiiiff Sal Tatio.; oil two days the paiu entirely auUixttl, and now 1 am a well man. The Need of the Western Farmer. A i tbe of the State entitled, "The Needs of the Western Farmer." extract the fol- lowing from the paper and advise I its careful reading by every farmer: "We believe it would he to the interest tf Ui farmer to have a jcreatei va riety of stock. We ought to raise mutton and woo! as Well as beef and pork. H'c think Kansas ought to be a wool Krowing State. We import more wool of ill grade rat the United States than we raise. Our import of wool are w-rlh as much as our exports of wheat. Why not rainu more wool and less wheat? Why ship our surplus wheat to Liverpool and bring back wool from Russia, South America and Aua tralia ? And why not do something toward raising our own sugar ? France supplies her own people with suicar, and a large amount for export made from he beet. Experiments made in our own State and Nebraska indicate that the growing of beets for the mat inr of sugar will prove a success. Encouragement should be given to every entcrpiise of this kind. Whatever gives a greater variety to farm crops or that develops a new industry should be of interest to the farmer. With the present facilities for transportation, the American farmer has mt monopoly of the markets of Europe for his product. Thirty years ago the idea of shipping wheat from Tndia to England was never dreamed of. The opening of the Suez Canal shortened the distance between the two countries lit.tHKI miles, and to-dav wheat is regularly shipped from Bombay and Calcutta to Livrpool. I am no pr phet I nor the son of a prophet, vet I believe tl .!,-. P .... wnenevcr tne western larmir gets $1 a bushel for his wheat it will be for home consumption. The present indications are tli:it the shipper cannot pay that price for wheat to put upon the Livei-pool market. T5te London '"Miller ' predicts that "with better railroad facilities and better implements in India, ! American flour will be driven from the English market." So. while it is true that exports of heef have increased of late ye.an (we send them the best beef of any country in the worid), .it the price has been reduced by reason of im- of frozen mutton from Australia and beet from touth Amenea. lhe U - ...r i c i -i ew l ork tribune ot January lh, Am,; j.m-d bef "at ) ceuts; the best steers it 11 to 12i cents dressed weight (e.(ual to about cents per pound on foot), in the London mai- ket' b,lt A few J'car "J?" thi i i,,e in the Ka,,,M ' they brought markets. Such ; is the competition the American far-jmer has to contend with to-day. It seems to me theie is but one hope for Us that is, to diversify our industries, so as to increase our home consumption until eventually all American products wil1 be consumed by American wo-h- i men unon American soil.

Editor Tribi ne-Rkpubucan : Having waited in vain for some older person to accept your offer of a column in which to show the benefit of free coinage of silver, I will attempt to write briefly on that subject in order to open it for discussion. I believe that the free coiiage of silver will benefit tbe farmers of Franklin county by increasing tbe circulating medium and thereby enhancing the price of farm products. This will be most clearly seen in an example of long division, thus: products circulating me dium price.. By a little study of division 3 0U will observe that if4 the circulating medium increases faster than the products ot labor the price of said products will also increase, but if the circulating medium does not keep pace with the increase of products or decreases as it actually has for the last 24 years, the price of produets will decrease n proportion. In order to understand this better take all the numbers from tvto to twelve and divide each by six, noting carefully the effect op .he quotient. Will the free coinage of silver produce this expansion of the circulating medium ? Certainly, it will, to a limited extent, (an! every little hcljts).By turning the entire output of our gold and silver mines instead of a part into a circulating medium or a basis therefor. If a little foreign silver should come in it will simply help to bring about the desired result, because the foreigner will hae to spend it here for if he should take it away be will have to use it as bullion, and will be the loser for the seigniorage on coining is about sufficient to pay the running expense of the mint. The fact that the intrinsic value of tbe present silver dollar is not equal to gold cuts no figure in the case, for silver Was at a premium when it was demonetized in 1873. Yon nust bear in mind, Mr. Editor, that the intrinsic value of gold and silver is simply a com modity, and the bullion price is regulated by supply and demand It silver is brought to free coinage ' 41 1-2 grains of silver will be worth 248 grains tbe world over, less tbe cost of transportation to the. United Stiitea Thpn F.n.rhmri will no longer be able to buy our ' i,.. i i- . "I i uiiL-iiji oinui msienuui woeai aim cnu mi siwue uver te inuia ior wheat. Again, Mr. Editor, you believe in protecting American industries and so do I. Now why not apply the same principle to silver mining as that is pre eminently an American indust v. the United . ... ,1... a. i: e States producing more than half of j the silver of the world ? Is it any i more vLious class legislation to fa-1 vor the silver barons of the V'est than to favor the iron barons of Pennsylvania ? And now, Mr. Editor, a) you have opened the ball it is your turn to dance. Please do so by telling in what manner and who in Franklin county will be injured by the free coinage of silver ? Next week I will give you among other things, a true snake story, and if you stand that pretty well I may offer a few ideas on taxation. F. W. Etins. A bill is now pending before the thirty-sixth general assembly of this state which has for its object the publishing ni the laws in two papers in each eoun.y, one of each political party comprising the 1 rgest number ot voters. In New Jerse New Voik and a number of other states tbe session act are thus published. The question of ex Dense is being urged by a few of the representatives and sena tors, but the actual cost by a careful, and disinterested computation has been ascertained to be not over $000 to each county, and hence counting tbe one hundred and fourteen com. tics of Missouri, the entire cost to the state would be 08,400, not inclusive of St. Louis, every two years. " The best way to govern the masses is to educate them; to publish the laws! i is an essential part of this edu j cation. Nine-tenths of the people j do not know what the laws of j t.ie state are because they cannot j afford ti buy a set ot tbe stat-1 utes. lhe question is simply this: Do the people wish the state to pay S600 to have the laws all printed in each county.
